=== OffToHades is now known as BarkingFish [00:29] anyone familiar with this bug : http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/6590/bugkde.jpg [00:35] djzn: I'm sorry, i can't see a bug in that picture. which bit is the problem? [00:36] I click on K menu [00:36] and it opens on top [00:37] happens every now and then, but not always [00:37] and strangely the new activities slider is on the vertical position [00:38] you can move the new activities slider, it's a plasmoid [00:38] but I see the menu on top - that I'm afraid, I can't explain [00:40] could be something related to the radeon driver ? [00:42] i honestly couldn't tell you, djzn - i would have tried it at the screen resolution you use, but unfortunately my system doesn't support that resolution. the largest I can hit is 1024x768 [00:42] anyone else in here with a screen that can hit 1280x1024 who could test djzn's issue please? [00:42] i have a radeon card here, but it's an old one [00:48] this is a weird really weird issue [00:53] i used it all day it was normal, suddenly when I turned on the comp. i get this [01:00] BarkingFish: do you think this is related to resolution? [01:02] * szal uses 1280x1024 and has never seen the menu appear anywhere else than bottom-left [01:02] except when I used 2 panels and had the menu button in the top panel just for the lulz [01:03] djzn: no, in order to check it, i was gonna set my system the same as yours [01:03] but I can't reproduce an error without bringing my system to what you're using, and I can't do that [01:03] the thing is [01:03] i was getting the menu Ok this afternoon [01:04] i have to go, i'm in a conference circuit on here atm [01:04] but I have seen this in two kubuntu installations [01:04] ok [01:04] sorry, maybe someone else can pick this up :) [01:04] best of luck [01:05] BarkingFish: thanks i'll look into this [01:06] OK [01:09] * phiscribe didn't know Daskreech was a ninja [01:11] * Daskreech kills phiscribe silently [01:47] okay.. more than a little perturbed, and could really use some help, and insight into a few "why"'s - like why you can't just "reset" a plasmoid. Which leads me to... I was using the system monitor plasmoid... and I accidentally dragged the temp monitor off it. Now, the temp monitor had been monitoring my CPU temp just fine... now suddonly, it's empty. When I go in to configure it, I have no available sensors. Could anyone explain this small myst [01:49] of course.. the next question is.. "Is anybody around?" [01:52] earlten: there are heaps of people around [01:52] but probably not many that know the answer to your question [01:53] wrt to why you can't reset a plasmoid i am guessing the answer is because no one has implemented it [01:54] this is....... frankly, somewhat infuriating. There's NO documentation on these things.. no way to uninstall the ones that came stock with the system, and as far as I can tell... no way to reset them if they get screwed up. That's a pretty poor way to run an app [01:54] so much potential for awesomeness [01:55] and to get it back.. what do I have to do, reinstall my system? I have bitched about how user friendly linux is not for years.. and I was SO CLOSE to being super impressed... [01:57] the other question I have is why paste operations in linux are not consistent. If I middle click, it pastes something entirely different from shift-insert. That's insane. Middle clicking is not efficient on most micee, including mine [02:03] cut and paste is a per application thing in linux, thats mostly why its so goofy [02:04] a brute force way to reset plasmoits would be to rename the hidden .kde4 directory [02:04] but you know about brute force right? [02:05] earlten: there are two copy/paste buffers in linux [02:05] there is one in X [02:05] and one from your desktop environment [02:06] you can configure klipper to syncronise the two [02:06] but alot of people, me included find it really handy to have two different buffers [02:06] phiscribe: to some extent.. I'd rather not remove ALL my plasmoids [02:07] i dont know whats inside that config file, one might be able to comment out the offending plasmoid and hope a defualt line gets re-added [02:08] I have a .kde directory, not .kde4 [02:09] the desktop is always a WIP. as always you can submit bug reports for issues you find and or submit feature requests [02:09] im not booted into kubuntu atm, that might be it, take anything i say with a salt shaker [02:09] mostly my blabbering is just to by your brain enough time to have a light bulb moment hehe [02:10] most of the developers aren't paid and do it only in their spare time which as i'm sure you are aware can be close to zero some times [02:10] /home/user/.kde/share/kde4 [02:10] phiscribe: Hah.. that's a wonderful thing. I actually seriously appreciate you putting it that way [02:19] no luck [02:22] hola [02:22] kick it [02:23] kubuntu en espa;ol_ [02:24] como me paso a kubuntu en espanol [02:25] #kubuntu/es [02:25] #kbuntu.es [02:26] hello [02:27] !es | ubuntu [02:27] ubuntu: En la mayoría de canales de Ubuntu se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español o charlar entra en el canal #ubuntu-es. Escribe "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y dale a enter. [02:27] gracias [03:37] what are the x86 and amd64/EM64T architectures? [03:39] x86 = 32bit x86 instructions.... amd64 is any 64bit cpu like an intel core2 or greater that isn't itanium [03:39] EM64T i think is itanium [03:39] which you probably don't own :) [04:50] hey does anyone here run kubuntu 11.10 and know how to install the game "Planeshift"? i need help with wich to download and how to install it [04:52] brambleclaw: i can't see that game in the repository [04:52] does anyone know how to install downloaded games/ [04:52] it's not [04:52] ah ok. so what format is your downloaded game in ? [04:53] 32 bit? [04:53] erm .. what is the package ? [04:54] .deb / tgz / rpm ? [04:54] .run [04:54] sorry [04:54] try chmod +x ./file.run [04:54] and then ./file.run [04:54] in the terminal? [04:54] you may need to be root [04:54] yes [04:55] what does that mean to be root? [04:55] you need to have root privilages [04:56] i.e you can't be a normal user [04:56] oh ok [04:56] heres what i got [04:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/746668/ [04:56] erm your being too literal [04:57] oh ok... :P i'm new to all this sorry [04:57] what do i need to do? [04:57] chmod +x ./thefileyoujustdownloadedandweretalkingabout.run [04:57] does that make more sense ? [04:57] oh ok [04:57] yeah thanks [04:59] http://paste.ubuntu.com/746670/ did i do something wrong? [05:00] it is still in the "downloads" folder if that helps [05:01] is it case sensiteive? [05:02] ok no... [05:03] ok i had accidentally put in an "o" instaed of a "0" but when fixed it didn't help [05:04] i have the firefox web browser and have the downloads window open and it's there and when i tell it to open it it asks for a program? [05:06] which application should i use? [05:07] hola [05:08] amason: i have it in my firefox "downloads" window when i try to open the file it asks for and application. which should i use? [05:08] brambleclaw: if you right click the file choose permissions tab and select execute button [05:08] hola [05:08] ok [05:08] brambleclaw: if you right click the file choose properties first [05:09] yeah [05:09] ok checked the box for executable [05:09] brambleclaw: now double click it [05:09] no hablan en español [05:10] ok and it's asking for an application again [05:10] brambleclaw: it should give you choices [05:11] can i paste screenshots to the pastebin? [05:11] hey [05:14] it has an option to chose an application but it then opens a window called "another application..." that looks sort of like a dolphin window [05:16] it has a search option? [05:16] brambleclaw: open konsole cd Downloads [05:17] i probably did this wrong :P http://paste.ubuntu.com/746677/ [05:17] ok so i capitalized the D [05:18] and now i got this "brambleclaw@Jonathans-computer:~/Downloads$" [05:19] what do i do now? [05:20] brambleclaw: konsole ./name of file and hit enter [05:20] ok [05:21] cannot execute binary file [05:22] brambleclaw: thought you made it executable? [05:22] i did should i restart the konsole? [05:23] ok i did and it still can't [05:23] brambleclaw: try sudo ./.....

[05:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/746686/ [05:31] brambleclaw: did you see this Check this forum thread for important installation information [05:31] ...no :P [05:31] i am really smart [05:32] sorry and thanks for all your help [05:32] yup heres an installer... [05:36] Hey all! [05:37] So the Kubuntu update is stuck on 62% with "Configuring linux-image-3.0.0-13-generic" and depmod is running at 100% CPU. [05:38] Is there any other suggestion than to kill the process and reconfigure? [05:38] how long has it been sitting there [05:39] ~15 minutes [05:39] is there a dialog witing for your input, maybe behind another, alt tab to see [05:39] No dialog [05:39] have you run out of disk space [05:40] what worries me is you might not have bootable kernel now [05:40] I still have a disk space [05:40] And yea that worries me too [05:41] But the old kernel shouls still be there, right? [05:41] So if I reconfigure grub2 that should be accessible [05:41] yes [05:41] should be....sound like famous last words [05:41] :-D [05:42] But shouldn't it be possible to run apt-get after aborting this and let it continue? [05:42] yes [05:42] Okay, I'll go with that. Thanks! [05:43] wait [05:43] Yes? [05:43] incase grub is invovled, and you still have a running os, might wanna make a supergrub2 boot disk [05:44] http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/ might not need it, but be a boy scout [05:45] of couse if your good with a grub promt no need, (i am not) [05:45] boot cd that is [05:45] i might just be paranoid, (but they ARE watching me) [05:46] Well it's good to have in any case [05:49] I can skip the super-grub2 since I found the original Kubuntu CD. [05:49] Plus I didn't find any empty media [05:49] So here goes.. [05:49] well, if it wont boot at all, supergrub is better, but most likely it will boot, im just being catious [05:50] fun fun fun [05:50] at least xorg.conf doesnt need editing hehe [05:50] I'll be fine. What could possibly go wrong :-D [05:50] * phiscribe waits for a east coast black out [05:53] So the upgrade finished with no other problems. [05:54] knock on wood [05:54] How did one reconfigure a package? [05:54] dpkg reconfigure or something like that? [05:54] man dpkg-reconfigure [05:55] dpkg-reconfigure (not just dpkg) [05:55] Check [05:57] Reconfiguration went okay. Be right back then. (or not) [06:01] salute [06:01] salute! [06:01] But I'm running the old kernel [06:01] The new one didn't show up in the boot menu [06:01] ai caramba [06:02] Oh wait.. [06:02] Huh [06:02] Nvm [06:02] This is the new one [06:02] I'm just confused [06:02] id be confused if i went a day and wasnt [06:03] That.. [06:03] sounds confusing [06:03] But it seems I'm safe for the moment [06:03] like military intelligence [06:04] What? Military intelligence confusing? Naah [06:05] But thanks for all the help! I gotta get back to work. [06:05] cya [06:05] \o === ismael is now known as CreMa === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [07:24] your sister channel #ubuntu hosts a bunch of candy-asses who apparently find and honest and polite clinical analysis of their lack of help "offensive" [07:24] burn the hertic [07:24] I have never been so offended by arrogance or rude behavior [07:24] a common mantra of hummans [07:25] and a complete and utter lack of willingness to help [07:25] earlten: be aware the same rules apply in this channel [07:25] pangolin: so far the people here have been a ton better [07:25] dunno why [07:25] earlten: you got kicked because of your behaviour [07:26] smaller numbers of people make communications easier [07:26] large amount of people, its all noise [07:26] anyway, I hope someone here can help you. [07:26] would anyone happen to have some insight into how to force a display as the primary? [07:26] earlten: on Kubuntu? [07:26] nvidia? [07:26] yes [07:26] ATI [07:26] here's the hitch [07:27] earlten: System settings -> display and monitor [07:27] it had been working, but after installing catalyst drivers it forces the primary to my DVI display and not the VGA oe [07:28] try setting it with fgrlxtools or what was the app named (: [07:28] Tm_T: yep.. I set it, and it still displays the taskbar etc on the dvi display. Both Samsung, same resolution [07:28] ZaphodHeads [07:28] earlten: fglrx-amdcccle that is? [07:28] Hi! Does anyone else have this strange problem where audio output keeps jumping between speakers and headphones all the time? [07:29] let me try [07:29] ZaphodHeads "outputname like vga-1 goes here" in device section of xorg, if all else fails [07:29] oh, yeah. I used andcccle also [07:30] same result.. more specifically, there's nowhere I can select which is primary in amdccle [07:30] Nailbar its not loose is it, (the headphone jack) [07:31] phiscribe, It does it even when the phones are on the table [07:31] I am also using multi-display desktop with display(s) 1 instead of single display desktop (Multi-desktop) [07:32] I've also tried multi-display desktop with display(s) 2 [07:32] phiscribe: And even when they're not even plugged in [07:33] xrandr --output DISPLAYNAME --primary might work, but u gotta know the dispaly name [07:34] but it would be temporary [07:34] awesome, I will give that a try [07:34] from there, I saw some articles where I can set it to be persistent if it works [07:34] xrandr -q might give the display name [07:35] read my zaphoheads note above that might makeit perm, but many installations run with xorg.conf, i not got the time to explain how to get one, and dont have ati card to work with atm === ocs is now known as faLUCE [07:39] I'm looking for a way to easily add colors in my shell, like in the Gentoo one. Somebody have an idea about it ? [07:41] are you using konsole mithrop? [07:42] phiscribe: yes :) [07:42] mithrop it should have a edit profile or edit colors setting, (not booted into kuubntu at the moment) [07:43] maybe unde prefrences [07:44] i cant remember, i got roxterm in front of me and its under prefrences === tbriskod is now known as tmb [07:47] phiscribe: yes, there is a "Edit profil" option. But I don't want just a background. Gentoo colors a lot of displayed results, and some other things === tmb is now known as Guest89516 [07:50] phiscribe: Not effective. But in the process I may have found an entirely different solution [07:50] well.. work-around [07:51] ah, well i was telling someone earlier, im just rambling to buy your brain time to figure it out hehe [07:51] not a solution to the issue, but a means by which I can effect the basic structure I am looking for [07:51] phiscribe: yeah.. that was me. :) [07:51] anyone want to take a shot at why sleep, and resume decided to become iffy? [07:52] seems to be since some upgrades [07:52] used to work fine in natty [07:53] its doing the same thing it was doing in slackware, I migrated from slack because its didnt work. Im guessing its the nvidia driver? [07:54] I just dont understand why it worked fine before on the nvidia driver, and now doesnt [07:54] uberdub /var/logs get your pipe and pull a sherlock holmes, or ksystemlog if u can set nail a time, might make it easier to search [07:55] yeah, forgot to look in there [07:55] i got mostly desktops, dont ever use sleep, just power the monitors off is all [07:56] yeah I know linux is great on a desktop [07:56] phiscribe: you're a heck of a fella. I thank you for your help and time. [07:56] sleep seems iffy [07:56] it was either the kernel upgrade, the 11.1 upgrade, or the nvidia upgrade I think that did it [07:56] wait.. phiscribe are you a fella? That was quite the assumption [07:57] earlten nah, people solve their own problems, they just need some feedback ot enter the flow :) [07:57] * phiscribe wonders if everthing is connected via strings, how can anything be off topic [07:58] should I be looking at the pm-suspend log? [07:59] uberdub im not sure, cant hurt [08:00] thats why if you had a time when it went to sleep, you might be able to search the whoel var log folder [08:00] or failed ot sleep or wake up [08:00] hmmm, I could put it to sleep now [08:00] it will crash [08:00] then check modified times, or open a input output monitor to see what is being writtedn too [08:01] hmmmm, ok I think I know how to do that [08:01] pm-suspendd.log [08:01] should be it [08:01] or something close [08:01] yeah Im not sure what Im looking at when i opened it [08:02] is it time stamped? [08:03] ugg 3 am gotta sleep [08:03] good luck [08:03] thanks man [08:04] trying to read it now [08:04] * phiscribe zzz [08:05] While playing a song the speakers stutter so I hear only every other word [08:05] long file it is time stamped [08:05] at the end of it now [08:05] In pavucontrol I see that the Port keeps changing between Analog Headphones and Analog Output [08:05] How do I make it stay on Analog Output? === jonah is now known as Guest77176 [08:09] phiscribe: I find the solution...

[12:36] you didn [12:37] you didn't tell us what you typed [12:39] sudo apt-get install utube ripper [12:40] now read your 1st line again & answer your own question ;) [12:41] Don't treat me like an idiot.

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [12:43] other than that.. the space separates arguments; if that doesn't answer your question, then I'm afraid you can't be helped [12:43] Then the appropriate thing to do is tell me how to fix it, instead of beating around the bush.... [12:45] LINKSWORD2: obvious answer: enter the correct name [12:46] The correct name IS Utube Ripper [12:46] * szal doubts that that is the _package_ name [12:47] The problem is likely something to link the arguments is missing. A hyphen, perhaps? [12:47] Google it. [12:47] LINKSWORD2: 'apt-cache search utube' [12:48] Looks like it's just Utube in the package cache lines. [12:48] That's what I needed to know.
